My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

First time bin question

17 years ago

I have a rubbermaid type/size bin that I prepared 2 weeks before I received the worms with newspaper/cardboard/coffee grounds and filters and a small amount of blenderized veggies. I put damp coir on the top, plopped in the squirmmers, put a piece of cardboard on the top and haven't seen or heard a peep since! It's been a couple of weeks now and the mass is going down some.

I guess everything is OK, right? When do I feed them again? I know that it takes a while for them to get established.
